.<\/span><\/span><\/p>Em 1910, o primeiro campe\u00e3o afro-americano de boxe profissional, Jack Johnson, estava no auge de sua carreira. Nocauteando advers\u00e1rio ap\u00f3s advers\u00e1rio, o lend\u00e1rio boxeador parece n\u00e3o ter competi\u00e7\u00e3o no esporte, mas as massas nos EUA n\u00e3o toleram esse sucesso e a m\u00eddia, analistas e pessoas do show business est\u00e3o rezando para que a "grande esperan\u00e7a branca" (James Jeffries) volte ao boxe e ven\u00e7a Johnson. Isso \u00e9 exatamente o que est\u00e1 acontecendo. Jeffries anuncia que voltar\u00e1 ao ringue, e a isso acrescenta uma frase repugnante que permanece na hist\u00f3ria at\u00e9 hoje: \u201cVou para essa luta com o \u00fanico prop\u00f3sito de provar que o homem branco \u00e9 melhor que o negro." <\/p>
Essas palavras vieram em 1909, quando foi assinado o contrato para a luta. Jeffries precisa perder muito peso, mas est\u00e1 disposto a fazer qualquer coisa para vencer o advers\u00e1rio. Os dois concordam em US$ 110 mil (75% para o vencedor, 25% para o perdedor), al\u00e9m dos direitos de um filme a ser feito sobre a luta. A luta \u00e9 anunciada como "um ic\u00f4nico boxeador branco contra o mais infame boxeador preto". <\/p>
Na v\u00e9spera da luta, a tens\u00e3o entre as duas ra\u00e7as fica gravemente inflamada, e durante a luta em si os torcedores s\u00e3o proibidos de consumir \u00e1lcool, trazer armas e at\u00e9 ma\u00e7\u00e3s, pois a fruta pode ser usada contra os boxeadores. A partida aconteceu em 4 de julho de 1910 diante de 20 mil pessoas em Nevada, e o ringue em Reno foi constru\u00eddo especialmente para o evento. Quase todo mundo na arena est\u00e1 do lado de Jeffries, que foi anunciado como o favorito antes da luta, e grande parte da Am\u00e9rica espera que "A Grande Esperan\u00e7a Branca" ven\u00e7a. Mas n\u00e3o \u00e9 isso que acontece no ringue. <\/p>
Ficou claro desde o primeiro gongo que Johnson era de longe o melhor boxeador, pelo menos nesta fase da vida dos dois atletas. Com golpes de esquerda brutalmente fortes e velocidade incr\u00edvel para um boxeador peso pesado, o atual campe\u00e3o mundial subjuga metodicamente seu oponente, derrubando-o no 4\u00ba round. At\u00e9 o 15\u00ba round, Jeffries n\u00e3o acertou nenhum golpe significativo na partida, enquanto Johnson conseguiu derrubar o advers\u00e1rio mais uma vez. E com todos esperando um nocaute no 15\u00ba round, o corner t\u00e9cnico de Jeffries joga uma toalha branca no ringue para encerrar a luta e evitar que o ex-campe\u00e3o perca por nocaute. Assim, a \u201cgrande esperan\u00e7a branca\u201d est\u00e1 de joelhos, e Johnson defende o seu t\u00edtulo e recebe grandes elogios at\u00e9 mesmo dos seus maiores cr\u00edticos. Infelizmente, a Am\u00e9rica como na\u00e7\u00e3o n\u00e3o est\u00e1 claramente preparada para aceitar a realidade do pa\u00eds, como evidenciado pelos acontecimentos subsequentes. <\/p>
No dia 4 de Julho - Dia da Independ\u00eancia nos EUA, ap\u00f3s a luta, violentos esc\u00e2ndalos racistas come\u00e7aram por todo o pa\u00eds, e a desaprova\u00e7\u00e3o p\u00fablica dos negros estava no seu auge. Os confrontos ocorrem em at\u00e9 25 estados e 50 cidades. Pelo menos 20 pessoas morreram em consequ\u00eancia dos tumultos que eclodiram em diferentes partes do pa\u00eds ap\u00f3s a vit\u00f3ria de Johnson. <\/p>
